Through my art, I explore the introspective concepts. of time and memory by creating colourful reflections of urban landscapes and monochromatic renderings of people, places and objects. I draw inspiration from the spaces around me, particularly the urban landscape, and use metaphors in my chosen subjects to mark temporal shifts. I incorporate texts, symbols and marks in my painting creating a personal touch that allows the viewer to have their own unique experience.
